XXXX

I captured some x's today for my alphabet project. It is cold and gray and I struck out to an old red barn along the road to Morrow to photo these for some color on this dismal day.

I had my 2nd interview this morning. It went pretty well, but could have gone better...as I pondered afterward how I answered questions. It is so tough to have specific examples of workplace experience when I have been out of the workplace for so many years. I hope to hear something back, and still hoping to get that job, tomorrow.

Here is a more far out version of the barn, man: http://365project.org/amandalomonaco/themes-challeng/2013-02-21
X slats against red and weathered paint for me = brilliant!

I love the colour and texture. So much character with the peeling paint.

Wonderful x's! Love the weathered barn. (Crossing fingers for you!)
February 21st, 2013  
Good X's, nice textures. Good luck with the job!

cool

That old paint all flaky is great. Nice photo
February 21st, 2013  
Very cool Xs, well done!
February 21st, 2013  
It can't be anything other than an "X" can it! As long as you appeared confident in that interview you will be fine!

Love the four Xs, well spotted and nicely captured.

Great find. Love the colour of this barn.

Sending all kinds of lucky thoughts your way! Love the barn door Xs and especially all the textures in the paint.

nice textures

Perfect red, love it. Great spotting your x's. Hang in there with the job search, fingers are crossed for you.

Love the weathered wood.
February 22nd, 2013  
love this!
February 22nd, 2013  
great shot. Interviews are tough. The more you do them the better you get. do you volunteer or have other life experience you can use to demonstrate skills? not all work skills need to be found through work!
February 22nd, 2013  
X's got it.
February 22nd, 2013  
I love it. Great vintage feel on that weathered paint.
February 22nd, 2013  
Four Xs eh? Nicely done ... I'm getting nowhere with this, but once the film month is up I'll start looking properly.
February 22nd, 2013  
Fabulous Xs! Love the red tones and the shabby looks as well.
February 22nd, 2013  
The worn textures really make this. Hope you get the job!
February 22nd, 2013  
What a lovely capture and perfect for your x's :)
February 22nd, 2013  
I'm sure you did better than you think. When I had my interview I was convinced I'd made a real hash of it but I got the job anyway. Fingers and toes crossed for you. Love this with the peeling paintwork xx

@paul2782 Thanks, Paul! Hope that you see my wrapping paper shot that I dedicated to you today:-). Just a little gift for the weekend! It's in my other album.

@hopelessromantic Thanks, Peter. No word yet. Maybe I will hear tomorrow...or there is better out there for me!

@kwind I just love peeling paint...unless it's on my home or car, etc. Such great subject for a photo, though. Thanks!

@barbsmith I wanted to drive the x point home, huh? I wondered if I should have zoomed in on one, but I liked them all together. Thanks, lady. I didn't hear back today? Maybe tomorrow.

@soboy5 Thanks so much, Danny. I hope that it works out, but not sure if it will. If not, I am sure that there is something better out there for me...like getting paid to do the 365 project;-). Could you imagine how nice that would be?!

@mgozzard Thanks, lady!!:)

@dreamatrix Thanks so much. I love flaky paint and the red is a bonus!

@happysnap Thanks, Linda. Appreciate that!

@maggiemae I don't know...I was for sure less confident in this one than the last one. This lady was more standoffish, less comfortable to be around. I didn't hear back today, so who knows. If not, than maybe I should find a camera shop near me. The discounts would be marvelous!

@tonydebont Thank you, Tony!

@bristolrose I do, too, Kathryn. Red barns are the best. Thanks!

@archaeofrog Thanks, Katie. No word today, so who knows. Maybe tomorrow...or something better in store?

@abhijit Thank you, Abhijit!

@masosy Really appreciate your sweet comments and encouragement, Kate. No call today, but maybe they didn't make their decision yet...or maybe it's not the best job for me now. We will see.

@egad Aw, thank you, lady! Appreciate that so much!

@tskipper Thanks, Tami. Me, too!!:)

@gingerninja Thank you, Lesha!

@lfrans I do some, but they were specific work related questions. Hopefully I will do better should I have any other interviews soon. So tough to be so rusty! Thanks, lady!

@helixconcepts I drove the x home, huh?! Thanks!:)

@edie Thanks, lady. I so love some weather paint (unless it's on my stuff and is not supposed to look that way!).

@automaticslim I am only half heartedly looking. I don't want my project to be consumed with the alphabet. Looking forward to seeing your clever letters:)!

@noragentian Thanks so much, Ruth. Appreciate that!

@fueast I do, too...yet I didn't hear today, so maybe not as likely that I will. Perhaps I can find a job in a camera shop or start writing that book that I've been putting off...Thanks!

@kbalychev Thanks so much, Miss Kimberly!

@psychographer I hope so. Who knows. Thanks so much, Lisa:)!

@vickisfotos Aw, you are xceptional! Thank you, lady!!:)

@bardejov Thanks so much. Don't you just love old peeling paint?!
February 24th, 2013  
You have so much love in this picture! Lovely xs and reds!

Beautiful tones, detail and texture on this door. Such a wonderful find =)

@frida I'm really drawn to bright colors this time of year. Thanks so much, sweet lady!

@tanja_1211 I loved it. Thanks so much, Tanja!!
